TASTING WITH THE EXPERT: NAVERAN CAVA

This one is going to be special.

On Wednesday, July 29th, we’re welcoming Marta Sanvicente, winemaker for Naveran, one of Spain’s most respected family-owned Cava estates, to Vin Rouge.

The evening begins with a Meet + Greet at 6pm, giving you the chance to grab a glass, meet Marta, and talk with the woman behind the wines before we settle in for the tasting.

Then we’ll explore four very different expressions of Cava, moving from bright and precise to rich, textured, and beautifully complex. During the pairing, Marta will share more about the region, the winery, and the wines themselves, with plenty of time to ask questions along the way. Each pour will be paired with a cheese selected specifically for the wine by our friends at St. Kilian’s, because bubbles and cheese are a love story we are always happy to support.

Only $55 per person for the entire experience, and to show you our appreciation for joining us this evening, all Naveran bottles purchased during the event will be 30% off!

Reservations are required and available through the OpenTable link in our bio. [Please include any dietary restrictions or special requests when booking.]

France. Italy. Greece. Since my summer travel plans apparently didn’t get the memo, I’m visiting through wine instead. This week’s flight explores three bottles that live just outside the mainstream, each offering a fresh perspective on some of Europe’s most exciting wine regions. We begin in Alsace with a vibrant orange wine made through extended skin contact [like Sauvignon Blanc and a light tea had a baby], continue to the shores of Lake Garda for a bright and refreshing Bardolino [the red wine equivalent of a porch pounder], and finish in Greece with Limniona, an indigenous grape prized for its floral aromatics and elegant spice [like Pinot Noir raised on a Mediterranean hillside]. I really need to get off social media.

TASTING WITH THE EXPERT - TXAKOLI
Tuesday 5/19, 6pm at Vin Rouge Wine Bar

This Tuesday, we’re welcoming Joseba Lazkano, fourth-generation producer at Bodega Gaintza, for an evening exploring the wines of Spain’s Basque coast and the quietly compelling world of Txakoli.

While Txakoli is often thought of as simple, spritzy, and maybe even a bit rustic [all in the BEST ways possible!], what makes this lineup especially interesting is how Gaintza pushes beyond that expectation without losing that sense of place. The classic coastal blanco is all energy and salinity, the rosé adds a layer of fruit and texture, and Aitako, sourced from old vines and aged on lees, shows a deeper, more structured side of the style.

Joseba will be here personally pouring throughout the evening, including the traditional high pour that defines Txakoli service, alongside pintxos-inspired bites from our friends at St. Kilian’s that reflect the rhythm and culture of Basque wine bars.

We will start with a Meet + Greet with Joseba at 6pm, giving you the chance to speak with him one-on-one [or buy some time if you are fighting traffic 😜], followed by the wine + pintxos pairing while he describes his wines, talks about the history of Gaintza and Txakoli, and answers all of your questions. The cost for this entire experience is only $45pp and you also have the opportunity to score some signed bottles for an additional 30% off!

Reservations are required for our Tasting with the Expert events. Clink on the link in our Bio to reserve your spot on OpenTable. [If there is any issue with booking the experience, please book any time [still starts at 6pm], reference the event, and we will handle on our end.]

TASTING WITH THE EXPERT - FRANK-LIN WITH CAMPUGET
WEDNESDAY MARCH 18th [meet + greet starts a little earlier at 5:30, with tasting to follow promptly at 6]

On Wednesday the 18th, we’re welcoming Frank-Lin Dunne, third-generation steward of Château de Campuget, for an evening exploring the wines of this historic Rhône estate.

While Campuget is firmly rooted in the Rhône, what makes this lineup especially interesting is how the estate embraces grapes you almost never see grown in France, let alone featured alongside traditional Rhône varieties. Mediterranean varieties like Vermentino, and even the Georgian grape Saperavi, appear here next to classic Rhône stalwarts like Syrah and Viognier—a reflection of Campuget’s curiosity, experimentation, and the unique climate of Costières de Nîmes where Rhône and Mediterranean influences meet.

It’s a rare opportunity to taste these wines with the family behind them, hear the story of the estate, and explore how both tradition and unexpected varieties coexist in the vineyards.

Meet + Greet with Frank-Lin Dunne: 5:30 PM
Guided Wine + Cheese Tasting: 6:00 PM sharp

Reservations can be made through the link on the main page of our website or directly on OpenTable.

Our friends at St. Kilian’s Cheese Shop have once again curated a thoughtful cheese pairing to accompany the wines [please make note of any dietary restrictions in your reservation]. The Campuget wine + cheese experience with Frank-Lin is only $60 and all featured bottles will be available 30% off this evening only, and signed by Frank-Lin while supplies last.

Join us this Wednesday the 25th at 6pm as we welcome famed Napa producer, Peju Winery, to Vin Rouge for our next Tasting with the Expert.

Family-owned in Rutherford since 1983, Peju has been quietly shaping the Napa conversation for decades, working with the Bordeaux varietals that helped define the valley: Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Peju’s very own Ryan Norton will be here for a meet-and-greet before we taste through four wines with her that show how Napa structure, ripeness, and restraint can all live in the same glass.

Come spend a night with Peju, and when you fall in love with their wines, you’ll be able to take advantage of an additional 30% off all their wine bottles this night only.

Reservations are live on OpenTable and of course it wouldn’t be a TWTE Experience without a cheese and meat pairing specially curated by our friends at St. Kilian’s. See you Wednesday!

Am I the only one that suddenly sees cherries everywhere? Let them serve as our tart inspiration for the rest of January 🍒 Cerasuolo Rosata [literally translates to swollen cherry] from Abruzzo, Lambrusco Sparkling from Emilia-Romagna, and a big, brooding Susumaniello from Puglia has got everyone feeling my cherry feels this week. But don’t think maraschino, think sexy tart Black Forest cherries 🤤 And our Board of the Month is honoring this beautiful fruit too! Celebrate making it half way through Dry January with a delicious flight 🍾
